World state saves from the Keep are not importing

This error might occur if you’re not properly signed to servers. So make sure you’re properly connected to both Origin and BioWare servers, and try to import your saves once again.

Also, there’s a possibility that your antivirus software is blocking the access, so go to your antivirus program, and exclude antivirus protection from Origin. Since Origin is a certified platform, you should not fear about your security, even if the antivirus is disabled for it.

DirectX crashes while playing game

If you receive an error which says that DirectX causes problems, just simply reinstall it. Also, if you didn’t update your graphics card drivers, DirectX might conflict with it, so make sure the latest drivers for your video card are installed. Developers also recommend not using an overclocked graphics card, when playing Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Graphics card issues in Dragon Age: Inquisition

A lot of issues in the game could be caused by the graphics card, like stuttering, freezing, hitching, crashing, terrible FPS, and more. The first recommended solution is, again, to check if your graphics card driver is up to date. For that, we recommend this third-party tool (100% safe and tested by us) to automatically download all the outdated drivers on your PC.

Some users suggest that using “Origin in game” can cause the problem with graphics. So, try disabling it, and check if the problem still appears. To disable “Origin in game,” go to Origin > Application Settings, Origin In Game tab, and disable it. Also, disable other programs that have a game overlay, like Raptr.

If you’re using a NVidia GPU, maybe your graphics card is overheating, and that causes problems with the game. So, check out your GPU temperature with programs like GPU Temp, and if the temperature is higher than 65-70 degrees, try increasing a fan speed.

Avoid Patches

This might sound unreasonable, since patches are being released to actually solve bugs and issues, but a lot of people report that certain problems in Dragon Age: Inquisition occurred for them after installing a patch. So sometimes, the best option is to actually avoid a patch. To prevent Drago Age: Inquisition from installing a patch, do the following:

Open Origin

Go to Applications Settings, and then to General tab

Uncheck the “Keep my game up to date” option

Restart Origin

Go to offline mode (Origin> Go offline)

Next time you launch the game, you will be able to play it without installing updates. However, if you already installed a patch, you can try to roll back to the ‘original’ version of the game, and see if the error that bothered you when the patch was installed still occurs.

To roll back to the ‘original’ version of Dragon Age: Inquisition, do the following:

Before you start, make a backup of your saves, just in case

Repeat steps 1-3 from above

Uninstall the game (go to Control Panel> Programs and Features, and uninstall it from there)

Restart your computer

Reinstall the game

Repeat steps 3-5 from above

If a patch was indeed a cause of the problem, running the ‘un-patched’ version of the game might eliminate all the issues, so you’ll be able to play the game normally, again.
